I am an advocate of the medical model of mental illness - even "purely" psychogenic ones. I'll let others debate this, though.
It would be a disservice to you if you have not yet been evaluated for schizoaffective - bipolar type. Of course, this condition does not preclude your having other comorbid psychiatric conditions. Based upon your descriptions over the years, I don't know how a schizoid disorder hasn't been considered.
Have you ever tried Abilify, Trileptal, and Klonopin at the same time? Even using lithium in place of Trileptal is a reasonable alternative. However, if anger or impulse control are issues, I would stay with Trileptal and add lithium if necessary. I haven't researched any of this, so I could be way off. However, it makes sense to treat the schizoid, bipolar, and anxiety components concurrently.
